The Last "Up In the Air" live, 1982

The Last perform "Up in the Air" in 1982 (at Madame Wong's Weat, or maybe the Cathay DeGrande). The Last have been a driving force in the local LA music scene since 1978, and are still active today with a new CD out soon. Visit their website at http://www.laexplosion.com

The bombs that fell on Kassel Street struck everywhere
You just wandered aimlessly without a care
Your world don't pass you by
A mirror in the corner of your eye

Rambling shock waves, flames and thunder filled the air
Panic struck, I looked to see you standing there
Your world don't pass you by
A mirror in the corner of your eye

There -
Up in the air
Up in the air

A bomb went off - was quite a blast
The pieces flew
Only thing left when the smoke had cleared
Was you

Up in the air - you say it's
Up in the air - for you it's
Up in the air - it's clearer
Up in the air - your mirror
Up in the air - no fair, no
Up in the air - inferno

The bombs that fell on Kassel Street aren't falling now
And you're no longer there - you've vanished into a cloud

@Avebury i dunno... look at the low ceiling and broken out acoustic tiles it reminds me of the cathay. guess we'd need to see how low to the ground the stage was to really know huh ? ;) awesome vid!

@sickkiedoll Both had low stages. The lack of lighting indicates the Cathay, but the background looks a bit more like Wong's West.

This looks like upstairs at Madame Wong's West to me.
